A doc told me something yesterday that I wasn't aware of. A flu shot is good for 3 months. She said wait a bit so the effectiveness extends well into January. (She did not mention that this changes with age and seniors are the most vulnerable to a shortened period of immunization.)
I did look into this a bit and the consensus was the shot should be given between Halloween and Thanksgiving. I knew nothing of any of this. I get a flu shot when it's convenient or when the spirit moves me. No planning.
So my question is, does anyone know of a doc or researcher that recommends a 2nd shot down the road?
